Objective: Extended anticoagulation therapy should always be considered after standard treatment of an unprovoked episode of venous thromboembolism (VTE). It can also be considered for selected patients with provoked VTE. However, the evidence-based protocols suggested by some clinical guidelines and risk assessment tools to guide this practice are limited and ambiguous. The goal of the present su

The script we are presenting below is one of four different scenarios from Violence & Learning by Henrik Bromander and John Hanse, which was performed at the International Brecht Society’s Symposium in Oxford in June 2016. The learning play Violence & Learning has been developed and performed in the context of left-wing activism in Sweden. The different variants of the play have partly bee

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen belyser vad resvanor är, hur storskaliga trafikreglerande åtgärder tas emot samt hur storstadsbornas resmönster kan bli miljömässigt hållbara på lång sikt. Jag diskuterar dessutom problem och möjligheter i skärningsområden mellan olika vetenskapliga discipliner som griper sig an dessa frågor. De viktigaste slutsatserna gäller för det första det vetenskapligThis thesis examines the concept of travel habits, public responses to large-scale traffic congestion regulations and how travel patterns of urban dwellers can be made environmentally sustainable in the long term. It also examines the interrelationships of different scientific disciplines dealing with urban travel. The main conclusions relate to the scientific concept of habit. This concept and th

The Internet, apart from being a fascinating field of study in its own right, has opened up new possibilities for scholars to get news, gather data, connect with informants, and in general stay updated on rapidly changing developments in Chinese society. Social media have added yet another dimension as it enables researchers to catch up with events and public debates as they unfold and get valuabl

This paper explores monarchies through a corporate branding lens. It is based on extensive field interviewing of individuals with knowledge and experience in what we (not they) term “managing the Crown as a brand,” including senior members of the Swedish Royal Court and the Swedish Royal Family. It also draws from literature regarding monarchies across a range of disciplines beyond management; we

Archiving the Spaces of Anxiety exhibition in Beijing, China curated by Shuyu ChenArchiving the Spaces of Anxiety takes its form from a transitional path that links Kafka’s unfinished short story The Burrow (1923–1924) and Wu Li’s painting White Cloud and Green Mountain (1668), by looking into a set of intertwining relations between the external space that surrounds us, and the internal space that

Background: Gambling disorder (GD) is a behavioural addiction in which a person faces negative consequences due to uncontrolled gambling, such as financial, personal, or relational difficulties. GD more often affects men but both men and women face severe consequences of GD. Psychiatric comorbidity is the rule rather than the exception and suicidality is abundant. Health issues such as obesity and

Background: Patients with bladder pain syndrome experience debilitating pain and extreme frequency of urination. Numerous therapeutic approaches have been tested, but as the molecular basis of disease has remained unclear, specific therapies are not available. Objective: Recently, a systematic gene deletion strategy identified interleukin-1 (IL-1) hyperactivation as a cause of severe cystitis in a

Ovaj članak prezentira teoretski i metodološki model za analizu prepričanih iskustava bivših logoraša koji su kao civili odvedeni u koncentracione logore početkom rata u Bosni i Hercegovini 1990-tih godina. Cilj je analizirati prepričane rituale ratnog nasilja u koncentracionim logorima kao i identifikovati kako se počinioci ratnog nasilja i žrtve simbolično definiraju u pričama. Priče o nasilju u

This thesis aims to look into how some social workers in Sweden view their work with youths having sex for compensation with regards to the feminist ideas that the law on buying sex expresses. Swedish studies have shown that most of the youths having sex for compensation started when they were 13-14 years old. Previous literature and studies state that youths having sex for compensation often have

Den globala uppvärmningen har stora effekter på det subarktiska ekosystemet i norra Sverige. De ökande temperaturerna i dessa ekosystem har lett till ett tinande av permafrosten i marken. Permafrosten innehåller stora mängder kol och när tjälen i marken försvinner blir detta kol tillgängligt för nedbrytning av mikrober i marken. Denna nedbrytning av kol i kombination med en våtare mark leder till The northern permafrost regions are experiencing a rapid warming as surface temperatures are rising, causing a disintegration of permafrost and a deepening of the active layer (AL). This releases previously frozen carbon, making it available for decomposition by microbes. The combination of the high microbial activity and overall wetter soils may cause anoxic conditions and in turn methane (CH4) a

ABSTRACT Soft tissue tumor-associated gene fusions are currently being used as diagnostic genetic markers and seem promising as potential prognostic markers. In the present study, a new fusion gene was discovered in one case of a specific subtype of soft tissue sarcoma displaying a t(6;16) translocation. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), the FUS gene in 16p11 was shown to be rearra

En arbetsplats kan av olika skäl råka ut för en tillfällig nedgång i behovet av arbetskraft. Ett sätt att bemöta detta har traditionellt varit att tillgripa permitteringar. Permittering kan förekomma vid både tillsvidare- och visstidsanställda, men historiskt sett har det oftast rört sig om timanställda. Permitteringar förekommer i princip enbart på arbetarområdet. Med begreppet permittering menasA workplace can due to various reasons, experience a temporary decline in the demand for labor. One way to address this has traditionally been resorting to layoffs. Layoffs may occur in both permanent and fixed-term employments, but historically it has often been a matter of hourly employees. The term layoff means that an employer has the opportunity to temporary layoff employees, or due to some o

I dagens samhälle står ungdomarna inför flera problem i deras liv. För att handskas med dessa väljer ungdomarna olika sätt. Vid vissa tillfällen kan detta leda till att ungdomarna begår oönskade handlingar ur samhällets synpunkt. Genom att söka sig till gäng och därigenom leta efter svar på de problem som de ställs inför leds många ungdomar in i ett asocialt leverne. För att förhindra våra ungdomaIn today's society young people are faced with several problems in their lives. Young people choose different ways to deal with these. At times this can lead to young people committing undesirable actions from the society's point of view. By seeking to gangs and thus looking for the answers to the problems they faced led many young people into an anti-social lifestyle. In order to prevent

Detta examensarbete ämnar att undersöka integration av tre olika teknologier till en havsbaserad vindkraftspark, om det är ekonomiskt gynnsamt samt hur kraftfluktuationerna till elnätet påverkas. Genom att kombinera olika förnybara kraftsystem kan man minska variabiliteten och kostnaderna kopplade till installation och drift av systemen. Även fast investeringar i annan förnybar energi utöver vindkThe high penetration of wind power is increasing the intermittency and power variability into the existing power grid. This is forcing industries to look for optimal configurations in order to improve their systems performance and minimize these effects from the power production method. Studies show that there are different ways of reducing the power variability and therefore stabilize the energy

The European Union implements the Environmental Noise Directive (END), which offers a framework for evaluating and assessing environmental noise. All EU members are required to create strategic noise maps to inform the public about noise pollution and its effects. This study followed these directives and guidelines to collect the required data and employed the NORD2000 model to simulate traffic no

Sverige står inför en betydande utmaning i att minska sina utsläpp av växthusgaser för att nå det nationella klimatmålet om nettnollutsläpp till år 2045. För bygg- och anläggningssektorn innebär detta en omfattande omställning, där alla aktörer i branschen aktivt behöver bidra för att målet ska kunna uppnås. I dagsläget är sektorn en av de större källorna till Sveriges koldioxidutsläpp vilket inneSweden faces a significant challenge in reducing its greenhouse gas emissions in order to reach the national climate goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2045. For the construction sector, this requires a major transformation where all actors must actively contribute for the goal to be achieved. Currently, the sector is one of the largest contributors to Sweden’s carbon dioxide emissions, making m

Introduction: Advanced endometriosis (stage III–IV, per the revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rARSM) classification of endometriosis) is associated with a range of pregnancy-related complications. Despite growing evidence, awareness of these risks remains limited among healthcare providers. Furthermore, the impact of endometriosis surgery prior to conception on pregnancy outcomes

AbstractBackground: Identification of patients at risk and prevention of acute postoperative pain (APOP) are central to individualized anesthesia and analgesia. Venous cannulation pain (VCP) has shown promise as a predictor of APOP. In the PeriOPerative Individualization Trial (POPIT), VCP was evaluated as a pain-sensitivity stratification method to guide anesthesia and reduce postoperative pain.
